syraphx Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 ******EDIT****** Ok, so I got the server running on a completely different machine with better CPU (i5 4th gen), same workers / thread settings. Lag is completely gone. ****************** Hi, I'm running a dedicated server on one of my PC for 2 friends and myself. Windows 10 home CPU: AMD FX-8120 3.1 Ghz 8 core 12GB of RAM SSD hard drive Network is 120 down and 20 upload The PC is pretty much only used for my dedicated server. I'm not gaming on the same PC. It's only for 3 player, and me being on the same LAN as the server. I'm using this machine for all my dedicated server, Ark, Conan, Empyrion, 7Days to die (running one or 2 at a time). No issue with any of those game. We started playing Avorion last week and it's really giving me a hard time figuring out what's wrong with the dedicated server. We're getting alot of "lag" and stutter even me, being on the same network. NPC ships spinning, can't deal or receive damage... It's intermittent, and happen even when only 2 of us are online. We're still early in the game, so we have a few miner ships and we own one ship for combat each. We didn't go crazy with fighters, and it doesn't seems to do any difference if they are out or not. CPU is never getting higher than 37-38% when the 3 of us are on during fight. There is pleny of RAM left and my bandwith is not going more than 1MBps on upload... Here is my server.ini config. Let me know what I should do to improve the server performance: [Game] Seed=X4nx0qunIM Difficulty=0 HardcoreEnabled=false InfiniteResources=false CollisionDamage=1 SafePlayerInput=false PlayerToPlayerDamage=true LogoutInvincibility=true LogoutInvincibilityDelay=30 DevMode=false ExplicitCallables=true BigWreckageDespawnTime=1800 SmallWreckageDespawnTime=900 MaximumFightersPerSectorAndPlayer=-1 MaximumBlocksPerCraft=-1 MaximumVolumePerShip=-1 MaximumVolumePerStation=-1 MaximumPlayerShips=-1 MaximumPlayerStations=-1 MaximumBlocksPerTurret=250 PlayerInventorySlots=1000 AllianceInventorySlots=1000 Version=1.0 sameStartSector=true startUpScript=data/scripts/server/server.lua startSectorScript=startsector [system] saveInterval=600 sectorUpdateTimeLimit=300 emptySectorUpdateInterval=0.5 workerThreads=8 generatorThreads=4 scriptBackgroundThreads=2 aliveSectorsPerPlayer=8 weakUpdate=true profiling=false sendCrashReports=true hangDetection=true backups=true backupsPath= simulateHighLoadServer=false sendSectorDelay=2 placeInShipOnDeathDelay=7 [Networking] port=27000 broadcastInterval=5 isPublic=true isListed=false isAuthenticated=true sendStatsToAdmins=true useSteam=true I saw quite a lot of people with the same problem, so I'm starting to think it's a problem with the game itself and not really config or hardware related, but I really love the game and if I can at least get it to run smoother while we're waiting for a fix it would be appreciated.

Treeper Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Having the exact same issue on my dedicated server as well. It's been a while since my friends and I had played Avorion on this server (about 1-2 years), but I don't remember the lag getting this bad back then. Everytime someone gets into a bigger fight with like 5-15 ships, the server just dies. One random thread on the CPU will spike to 100% and just be locked for 5-10 seconds, causing the entire Server to lag out (no crash, just lag). We are currently getting into mid game territory and it's already becoming unbearable. I don't remember it being this bad in the past. We are running the server on a Xeon E3-1271 v3 with 32GB of RAM. Never had any issues with other servers, we even were able to run 4 Ark servers at once with no lag at all. At this point I'm running out of ideas how to fix it, not that I really found anything on the topic. I really love the game and I would like to continue to play it with my friends. Hopefully someone will be able to come up with a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
